Hi folks,
This is just a quick post here as I want to start a thread showing various phases of the "Scenery and structure" portion of the new Spruce Coal & Timber layout.
Some that follow on Facebook are up to date but I wanted to keep my good friends here at O Gauge Railroading in the loop.
Of-course , it's in a state of "mess" as this is the initial construction phases and the rough draft so to speak.
Layout is still O Scale 1:48 and On30 gauge, rebuilt and improved to accommodate larger locomotives -
The layout consists of 4 portable sections on perma-storage-carts with a 2 piece staging yard bridge in backside on non scenery portion.
The layout is actually 2 dioramas so to speak that can be moved about for photography and such.
Layout measures 15x5
DCC with all sound locomotives
As I said, this is a quick post. I will try to follow up regularly with photos and info to show how it goes from this mess to a finished layout.
OF COURSE I am filming video and shooting photos.
For now, here is an overview of the actual 200" backdrop that will be used. If you remember the old layout and backdrop, this is a similar spin off. One of the original backdrops is mounted on the garage wall. We are building it here in the small garage. That control panel image is the actual control panel image I have created and will use for the Touch Togggle Controls that you may remember from one of our recent videos. If not, see our facebook page or Youtube page.
The other images are just that - Rough draft first phase stuff. Dont mind the mess
I know the image below is small, I didn't want to stretch the forum and it will only show a small size in the forum
but here is a link to a larger version for those that are interested. ---> LARGER IMAGE BACKDROP PREVIEW
